Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 Reviewed
by Sze | Filed under Camera and Camcorder
CNET has done a review on Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 digital SLR camera. The A350 features a 14.2 Megapixel Super HAD CCD sensor, ISO sensitivity up to 3200, Dust Reduction, optical image stabilizer and support for LCD live view.
CNET‘s editor gives a rating of 7.2 out of 10 and comments:
TweetThe good: Sensor-shift image stabilization; useful Live View implementation with flip-up LCD.
The bad: Kit lens could be better; mixed performance; small viewfinder; interface annoyances.
The bottom line: Unless you’re prepared to spend a disproportionate amount of money on a really good lens, the resolution bump offered by the Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 isn’t worth the price.

I don’t have several hours to do a proper review on this excellent camera, but I can quickly share the high points. It has great “human factor” engineering, meaning it fits your hands like a glove and all the controls are easy to access. The camera/lens combo is very light and easy to handle. If you have any Minolta lenses, they fit. The ability to view the picture on the large, bright LCD instead of through the viewfinder is a definite plus in many situations. 14 megapixels … really, how many more do you need?
Here’s the bottom line … I worked for Kodak, I’ve been a serious amateur photographer for decades, I’ve shot thousands of pictures (hundreds so far with this camera) and it leaves nothing that I can think of to be desired. If you want to spend more bucks on a Nikon or Canon, have fun. But for my money, this little beauty is a clear winner.
